Great Nation America with Great Poverty

(Guided by Holy Spirit on a snowy day in Tokyo)



Great Nation America with Great Poverty

(Grande nation d'Amérique avec une grande pauvreté)


SECTION I: Yesterday at a Book Shop

Yesterday I went to a book shop nearby. I knew I had to buy something there, since I felt that the God requested me to do so.

First, I checked books written by some Japanese politicians, ex-lawmakers, or critics who had been regarded as enemies of the ruling parties.

But, before I found such books, I spotted a book that had taken my attention weeks ago on the Internet.

So, I realized that I came there to buy the book published on January 22, 2008 in Japan: "Hinkon Taikoku Amerika (Poverty Great Nation America)" written by Japanese female author Mika Tsutsumi.

(http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%AB%E3%83%9D%E8%B2%A7%E5%9B%B0%E5%A4%A7%E5%9B%BD%E3%82%A2%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AA%E3%82%AB-%E5%B2%A9%E6%B3%A2%E6%96%B0%E6%9B%B8-%E6%96%B0%E8%B5%A4%E7%89%88-1112-%E6%9C%AA%E6%9E%9C/dp/4004311128 )

The Japanese female author had been to the U.S. to have a happy life, but eventually came back to Japan to tell Japanese people that there are tens of millions of unhappy or poor people in the American society, though she graduated from a university in New York and worked in a United Nation organization and the Amnesty International.


SECTION II: This Morning New York Times Online

This morning I found a very big news on New York Times Online:

In the largest sweep in recent memory, federal and New York State authorities on Thursday rounded up scores of accused organized crime figures who were indicted on charges including murder, racketeering, construction extortions and the looting of union benefit funds....

The crimes charged in the federal indictment span three decades and include racketeering conspiracy, murder, extortion, theft of union benefits loan-sharking, securities fraud, conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana, money laundering and illegal gambling.

Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, who oversees the Organized Crime Task Force, said the case was built in large part with the aid of an informer who won the confidence of Gambino crime family figures and helped record hundreds of hours of mob conversations.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/07/nyregion/07cnd-mob.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

Indeed, ultimately the Mafia will shake hands with terrorists, since they both do not respect security and safety of hard-working and law-abiding US taxpayers, voters, citizens, and consumers.

Now, we are waiting for good news on this issue from EU, since it is said that there are many gangsters in EU coming from East Europe and China in addition to those from a certain island of Italy.

And, the War on Gangsters should be the first agenda for next US President yet to be.


SECTION III: Last Night BBC Internet Radio

They presented some Afghan people in their radio broadcast.

In Tokyo, a two-day meeting of the Afghanistan Joint Coordination and Monitoring Board (JCMB) was held a few days ago with 13 Afghan Cabinet ministers attending.

http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200802060086.html .

Some Afghan youths were talking in BBC's interview that their country would be a great country in future in very fluent English.

Japan pledged about 100 million dollars to further aid the country plagued with opium, terror, war damage, and various kinds of oppression since the US, UK, and NATO military invasion and manoeuvre to attack Taliban and AlQaeda
* * *

Now, you know what is at stake.

With tens of millions of rich Americans criminally neglecting tens of millions of poor Americans, terrorists and gangsters will find a big chance for their operations in the US society and in their wars against the US Government.

Those gangsters and terrorists would rather allow themselves to point at existence and presence of those rich Americans criminally neglecting tens of millions of poor Americans by way of excuse for their killings.

For example, 55% of African Americans have purchased a house on the sub-prime loan credit.

The ratio is 46% for Hispanic Americans; and only 17% for "White Americans," according to Ms. Tsutsumi's book.

The solution is of course a US Religious Revolution where tens of millions of poor Americans are directly saved by the God who punishes tens of millions of rich Americans in addition to gangsters and terrorists wherever they are hiding.

Vote for a believer who listens to EEE Reporter!



(The next Monday is a Japan's National Holiday, to your surprise, which is National Foundation Day.

It is based on myth rather than historical science. The First Emperor of Japan, "Jin-Mu," is believed to have acceded to the Imperial throne on this day 2667 years ago.

February 12 is the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, a symbolic person who might be part of a US Religious Revolution, secular or unsecular.

Now, you may like to start to think if you should be part of holy glory or a material mirage such as a piece of chocolate sold ostentatiously in New York, Paris, and Tokyo without love to the poor starving to death...)

A Rock on Another Mountain Telling Truth

(Un rocher sur une autre montagne raconte la vérité.)



SECTION I: Arkansas and Tennessee Hardest Hit

The outcomes of Super Tuesday must be further studied, since Heaven gave a severe warning:

Residents in five Southeastern states rose Wednesday to widespread clusters of destruction caused by an unusually ferocious winter tornado system. At least 52 people were killed and scores more were injured...
Arkansas and Tennessee were the hardest hit, with Arkansas reporting 13 dead and Tennessee 28....

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/07/us/07tornado.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

Arkansas and Tennessee are two states where the former US President and the Vice President, both Democrats, are deeply rooted in their political lives.


SECTION II: 80% for "Obama" in Tokyo

A Japan's news program, one of a few TV programs I often only see these days, reported last night that Americans supporting Mr. Barack Obama accounted for 80% of those who registered for the overseas primary voting as Democrats in Tokyo.

A Japanese reporter in New York also reported that the undecided competition between "Hillary" and "Obama" would further continue as long as they have necessary money, pleasing a female news caster in a Tokyo TV studio, while the prospect of Japan's General Election is getting remote.


SECTION III: Who Supports Who?

A Japanese newspaper this morning reported that the poor, the elder, and the not-highly educated support "Hillary."

The rich, the young, and the highly educated support "Obama."

If this competition is between "Condoleezza" and "Hillary," I might choose the former, since the former looked like more suitable for taking a part in a US Religious Revolution.


SECTION IV: Who Said What?

UK Guardian online reads:

But the next president will be different. He or she will not be able to respond to economic recession merely by boosting defence spending and cutting taxes and social programmes, as Mr Bush did in his budget this week. Nor will the next president be a climate-change denier. Mr Bush's successor will think twice before tearing up treaties or undermining international institutions and, if they are a Democrat, will think three times before playing at being a soldier.

The primaries have exposed an anxious mood of self-inquiry as well as a thirst for change. Much of the debate may proceed in a direction which makes America more protectionist and isolationist.

Mrs Clinton found that the economy resonated more than Iraq. The looming recession, house repossessions, affordable healthcare, keeping jobs in the country, border control and immigration are the issues that grip the nation.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2253544,00.html

So, the English must be backing "Hillary."

Indeed, "Hillary" must have better understanding of a situation around Princess Diana.

Also, another Guardian article reads:

Yesterday morning I heard a BBC radio correspondent say: "Remember, of course, that Ohio is a swing state in American elections."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,,2253636,00.html

Truly, Ohio is a place with a great story behind it, which goes back to the era of George Washington and Indian Chief "Little Turtle."
* * *

In my theory, a wife of a president or a prime minister plays a decisive role not only as such but also as a wife of a candidate according to, and depending on, situations of the era.

In this context, Mrs. Nancy Reagan was very unique and mystic, matching the era of the end of the doomful Cold War. After her, only wives of the Bushes ran the White House except ex-able female lawyer Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

In Japan, no one knows who the wife of still influential former Prime Minister Mr. Mori is; everybody knows that then next Prime Minister Mr. Koizumi has been long divorced; no one talks about whether then next Prime Minister Mr. Abe has children; but it is widely assumed that incumbent Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda has a son, serving his father as his secretary, and the sophisticated wife from the upper class of Japan.

Finally, in this regard, I really think that the death of Princess Diana in Paris foretold the ensuing fates of the political leaders in countries concerned.

Of course, Japan is included there, since I am highly concerned.


(It is said that Mrs. Abe asked her husband to think about retirement from politics, since Mr. Shinzo Abe reached the top position, Japan's Prime Minister, but was forced to resign by his physical and psychological conditions.

However, it is reportedly said that Mr. Abe is looking forward to another chance for comeback that might come in a decade.

Indeed, if JFK had waited for a decade to run for US Presidency, his son should have been able to become US President even today after his two uncles.

Truly, a girl cannot wait for ten years; but a young man must sometimes wait for a decade, another decade, and 30 years in case, so that a young soldier could become a president or a presidential candidate if not a caesar.

I respect the Vietnam War hero Mr. John McCain, since nowadays some people in Vietnam are acting like Chinese brainwashed by big money.)



"NO LIES EVER COME FROM THE TRUTH"

(Aus der Wahrheit keine Luge kommen kann.)




　　

"DUDE, WHERE'S MY COUNTRY?"

(Around Shinjyuku Station on Snowy Sunday, Tokyo)




"DUDE, WHERE'S MY COUNTRY?"

(Ami, où est mon pays?)



US President Mr. George W. Bush has still one year ahead in office. One year is a lot of days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milli-seconds.

As the largest mission the President has been entrusted to is finding the solution to end threats of terrorism and carrying it out, I'd like to contribute some to it, since Japan is an allied nation with the U.S., though the Japanese Constitution forbids involvement of Japan's Self-Defense Force in war except for homeland defense.

Mr. Michael Moore wrote some according to his conscience in his book "DUDE, WHERE'S MY COUNTRY?" in 2003:

...Bush's program of homeland security is providing us no security at all. If you want real security, I suggest you consider my ideas that will definitely make America a safe country:

1. Catch Osama bin Laden.
...My theory: He's back home in Saudi Arabia being protected by those who have been funding him and getting him the medical help he needs for his failing kidneys...

2. (omitted)

3. Propping up existing dictators does not endear us to the people living under the rule of those dictators.
...Our history of siding with the wrong guy is extensive...Saddam and the Saudi royals are only the start of the long list...

4. When attempting to prop up a Latin American dictator, try to do it without killing too many nuns or archbishops.

5. (omitted)

6. It might be good to find out why hundreds of millions of people on the three continents, stretching from Morocco on the Atlantic to the Philippines in the Pacific, are so pissed off about Israel.

7. Five percent of the world's population (that's us) use up 25 percent of the entire world's energy resources, and the well-off 16 percent, mostly the U.S., Europe, and Japan, use up 80 percent of the world's goods.
...To some, this seems to be a little greedy, and it's got to change...

8. We need to offer the world a drink of water.
...Right now, 1.3 billion people can't have a glass of clean water...

9. People should be able to buy the products they are making.
...Or how about the worker in El Salvador who makes 24 cents for each $140 NBA jersey she produces?...

10. No child must be a salve laborer.

11. When we kill civilians we shouldn't call it "collateral damage."

12. (omitted)

13. (omitted)

14. We must immediately disavow Bush's preemptive war policy.
...We need to slam shut this insane Pandora's box Bush and Cheney have opened...

15. (omitted)

16. Stop terrorizing our own citizens with the Patriot Act.

17. (omitted)

18. And finally...let's set a good example.
...When you treat people well, 99.9 percent of time they respond in kind.
* * *

I am writing these, since it will be a significant and grave problem in future if a US President at last cannot arrest criminals and bring them to justice who killed about 3,000 innocent civilians at the center of New York and DOD in daylight, while the culprits have been clearly identified as they already confessed their guilty deeds.

In future, the US military success in Iraq would probably not be highly regarded, but its failure in taking Mr. Osama bin Laden and his fellows in charge and bringing them to a real court of justice would be gravely criticized.

It is because ultimately stability, peace, and prosperity in the region from Israel to the Persian Gulf can be assured through international cooperation and collaboration including United Nations operations, but the act of terror on the U.S. should be firsthand dealt with and solved sufficiently by the US Government presenting a good example of judiciary conducts to the world.

Everybody know the fact and the details of the 9/11 Terror. Everybody knows who did it. Everybody has his own idea about where the guilty party is hiding. Everybody knows that the US Government can spend tens of billions of dollars for operations of apprehension and capture of them. Everybody knows that US Government can mobilize tens of thousands of troops for operations of apprehension and capture of them. Everybody knows that President Mr. George W. Bush was already given seven years and is still given one more year to carry out this single task and related missions.

Yet, if the Bush Administration cannot apprehend the terrorists who conducted the 9/11 Terror in September 2001, history will really suffer from reasoning why.
* * *

However, ironically, it is also a fact that the Islamic Persian Gulf States have become extremely rich, to the extent to bolstering the Wall Street in New York, during the reign of President Mr. Bush.

However, ironically, it is also a fact that the Israel and Saudi Arabia are now exposed to far less menaces and threats from Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan (with AlQaeda).

However, ironically, it is also a fact that the global oil market has now the minimum assurance of stability and security of provision of crude oil due to the tangible US presence in the Middle East.

Nonetheless, justice should be done on behalf of 4,000 people killed on September 11, 2001 in New York and Washington DC as well as in Bali, Madrid, London, and other places from North Africa to India in the following years.

President Mr. George W. Bush has still 11 months. I hope he will do his best in this regard until the last minute of his time in the White House, like a baseball pitcher on the mound in the 1-0 game with two down but bases fully loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, taking two strikes against the last batter, say, Babe Ruth in the final game of the World Series.



(Have you seen the movies "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Sicko?"

To tell the truth, I haven't yet.

Nonetheless, I hope the movie director Mr. Moore will produce a new one titled, say, "US Religious Revolution."

You may be able to take part in it, though there are many Mafia-girl-like actresses in the United States.

Rather, you might like to play a certain role in a possible movie a Japanese Michael Moore, if any, might produce under the title "ALWAYS - Drug Disaster in San-Choume [the Third District]" or "ALWAYS - Imported Foods Disaster in San-Choume," since the movie "ALWAYS - The Sunset in San-Choume" has been a big hit in Japan.

Have a nice night tonight, too!
[Passez une bonne nuit ce soir!])

Israelite-American US President Yet to Be

(Un juif-président des États-Unis d'Amérique est encore loin d'être réalisé)




Now, it is still the morning of Tuesday in Japan; we are yet to hear the outcomes of the Large-Scale Primary Voting in the U.S.


SECTION I: America's Moment of Truth

---
February 3, 2008

I heard Bill Clinton make a speech which included the hilarious claim that his current vocation is 'post-politics'. The lie to that was given when the former President turned attack dog for his wife. He outraged many liberal commentators and members of his own party by trying to devalue Obama's triumph in South Carolina by likening it to Jesse Jackson's victories there in the Eighties. In other words, he's just another black guy winning black votes, it's down to the colour of his skin and not the quality of his arguments. It was - and it has been seen as such - an attempt to ghettoise Obama as the black candidate he has never wanted to be. The Clintons' dabbling with racial politics caused a tremendous backlash within the ranks of their own party. It spurred Ted Kennedy - who had angry phone conversations with Bill - into his endorsement. It also prompted the Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, who once dubbed Bill 'the first black President', to back Obama...

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/focus/story/0,,2251474,00.html
---

However, if Mr. Bill Clinton cannot save the face of his wife, he should not have allowed her to run for the Presidential Race at all, in my very personal view.


SECTION II: "Sen. Joe Lieberman"

---
February 1st, 2008

The White House Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), created under the Intelligence Reform and Terrorist Prevention Act of 2004 is history, having gone out of business on Wednesday. I am grateful to the board members’ service over the past three years. Unfortunately, the White House has failed to send Congress any nominees for the stronger replacement board, created in the Implementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act of 2007.

I am concerned that the lack of transition planning to the new board has created a gap in the oversight needed to respond to the ongoing threat of terrorism. The President should move swiftly to nominate members to the new board so they can get to work protecting the public’s privacy and civil liberties as we work to protect the country against terrorism...

http://blog.thehill.com/2008/02/01/oversight-gap-must-be-filled-sen-joe-lieberman/#more-5224
---

Mr. Joe Lieberman's personality is very easy-to-understand. He must be basically very happy living in the US society where everybody speaks of God more often than Jesus Christ or the Messiah.


SECTION III: "Little Turtle" vs. George Washington

George Washington could not be hired by English military as a regular officer.

George Washington and his fellows wanted the land north and west of the Ohio River.

George Washington and his fellows could not stand the British's reluctance to invade the land north and west of the Ohio River still occupied by Native Americans.

So, just after the winning of the independence war, George Washington sent his generals and soldiers, who must have been rather professionals remained after the war against England, to the Ohio River to wipe out indigenous insurgents, namely "Indians," in order to tackle the true issue which was the key reason for the independence.

However, the Native American hero "Little Turtle" and other warriors twice defeated the expeditionary force.

George Washington must have felt extreme pressure until he received the message that the third expeditionary force at last crushed the "Indian" troops, though this time "Little Turtle" was not in charge of command in chief of Native American coalition troops.

Every subsequent battle between the Native American warriors and the US Army, which continued until the late 19th century, was thus just a second edition of this decisive war between "Little Turtle" and George Washington which however resulted in official recognition of Native American tribes as an entity that has a diplomatic right against the US Government.
* * *

The U.S. will have a female President or an African American President someday, provided she or he is Christian.

But, an Israelite American President may be really difficult to be, though Mr. Lieberman was once a candidate for the Vice President.

But, after the emergence of an Israelite American President, we may have a Native-American U.S. President.

In the 22nd century, US citizens may even change the name of Washington DC to "Little Turtle DC."

But, for the time being, my most adventurous concern is a possibility of an Israelite American becoming a US President, or another possibility of the nation Israel becoming an annexed territory of the United States of America as the 51st state.

Which is Easier [or More Difficult]?

(Quel est le plus facile?)


When asked by a white-shirt-wearing tough Japanese reporter about impressions on Japan during their busy greeting procession to supporters, according to Japan's FUJI TV news show,

Mr. Barack Obama said somehow sternly, "I love Japan"; and

Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton said largely smiling, "Good!"


Mar 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

Mar 2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

Mar 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

Mar 2:6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

Mar 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

Mar 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

Mar 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

Reflection on the Davos Forum and Chinese Secret Operation

(North of Tokyo in Winter)



Reflection on the Davos Forum and Chinese Secret Operations

(Réflexion sur le forum de Davos et le chinois opération secrète)



Now it is past the Sunday noon in Japan.

Snow is falling here and there in and around Tokyo.

I planned to take off work on EEE Reporter today, but late last night I watched a cable TV broadcast, a rare occasion for me in these days for some reasons, on a debate in the Davos Forum and felt like writing some even this Sunday.

It is Mr. George Soros' expression that got my attention: "The sixty year credit expansion based on US dollar as a key currency is going to end," or some meaning like that.

It was also impressive that Mr. Lawrence Summers supported, not as a panel but an audience at the front line of the seminary hall, an idea on installing a sheriff to monitor the world monetary system Mr. Soros proposed.

---
A New Sheriff

Finally, Soros proposed the motion that the financial world needs a new sheriff. Left to their own devices, markets go from "euphoria to despair", he said. Globalization has allowed the US to suck up the savings of the world and consume 6% more than it produces. What the world is now witnessing is the end of a 60-year-old credit system based on the dollar. "I think we are seeing the end of the dollar as the international currency and we need a new sheriff," he said.

But, Nandan M. Nilekani, Executive Co-Chairman, Infosys Technologies, India; Member of the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum, dismissed the idea as "impracticable, irrelevant and implausible." He said that the origin of the current woes is essentially domestic and, therefore, it is up to national institutions to resolve them. If existing international institutions are not able "to get their act together" in areas such as trade and the environment, there is little hope for any new financial sheriff. "The solution is certainly not a new sheriff who cannot shoot straight," he said.

From the floor, a participant said there is a need to reform existing institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund, to make them more representative. Summers said that he agreed with Soros that the authorities need to do what they have not been doing, but he doubted that this will involve the creation of a new sheriff. "We have a lot of people with sheriff responsibilities but they have been averting their gaze," he said. Another participant suggested that a new international steering committee is needed to bring together the world’s three economic superpowers – the US, the EU and China. Gurria urged better coordination and above all better communication between the financial authorities and the markets.

The vote went 25% to 75% against a new sheriff.

http://www.weforum.org/en/knowledge/KN_SESS_SUMM_23393?url=/en/knowledge/KN_SESS_SUMM_23393
---

Additionally, another motivation for my writing today is related to the above another participant's comment: "Another participant suggested that a new international steering committee is needed to bring together the world’s three economic superpowers – the US, the EU and China."

This statement implies two things:
(1) Chinese secret agency's activities in the Davos Forum:

The Chinese Communist Party now has a huge budget for their activities to influence prominent people in the world, including Japan and the U.S.

You have to remember that China also used a huge fund to prevent Japan from becoming a permanent member of the Security Council of the United Nations a couple of years ago.

Chinese secret agencies are still actively involved in acquiring people who would act and speak in accordance with the strategic plan of the Chinese Communist Party.

So, in Davos, some participants spoke, as if so influenced or brainwashed by the Chinese Communist Party, in order to harm reputation of Japan, a responsible contributor to the global financial stability in decades, and misleadingly praise China, an irresponsible new comer to the global financial stage without respecting democracy, freedom, human rights, and the Holy Books including the Gospel.


(2) The lack of understanding the true state and structure of Chinese economy:

Most of participants in the Davos Forum did not look like having read a report issued by Congressional Research Service:

---
[Table 1: China’s Foreign Exchange Reserves and Overall Current Account Surplus: 1995-2006

1995.......US$ 75.4 billion
1996..........107.0 billion
1997..........142.8 billion
1998..........149.2 billion
1999..........157.7 billion
2000.........168.3 billion
2001.........215.6 billion
2002.........291.1 billion
2003.........403.3 billion
2004.........609.9 billion
2005.........818.9 billion
2006........1066.3 billion]

(In 2007, the ranking of countries with larger foreign exchange reserves:
China...1528 bn
Japan.... 973 bn
EU......... 501 bn
Russia....478 bn
India.......288 bn
Taiwan....270 bn
South Korea..262 bn)

Chinese data indicate that the share of China’s exports produced by foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) in China has risen dramatically over the past several years.

As indicated in Table 5, in 1986, only 1.9% of China’s exports were from FIEs, but by 1996, this share had risen to 40.7%, and by 2006 it had risen to 58.2%.

A similar pattern can be seen with imports: FIEs accounted for only 5.6% of China’s imports in 1986, rose to 47.9% by 2000, and to 59.7% in 2006.

FIEs import raw materials and components (much of which come from East Asia) for assembly in China, after which point, much of the final product is exported. As a result, China tends to run trade deficits with East Asian countries and trade surpluses with countries with high consumer demand, such as the United States.

These factors have led many analysts to conclude that much of the increase in U.S. imports (and hence, the rising U.S. trade deficit with China) is a result of China becoming a production platform for many foreign companies (who are the largest beneficiaries from this arrangement), rather than unfair Chinese trade policies.

The rising importance of FIEs may represent a fundamental change in trade between China and the United States that could affect the bilateral trade deficit independently of the exchange rate regime.

http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/crs/rl32165.pdf
---

In sum, Chine is not yet in a position to guide the world, but China must continue to be monitored, supervised, and led by stakeholders such as Japan and the United States.

I once wrote that you should not trust in rich people gathering at the Davos Forum.

Indeed, some participants looked like acting for further boosting dangerous credit and credibility given to China for China's selfish interest in the coming era of limited natural resources.

Truly, the Chinese Communist Party is trying hard to survive without giving democracy, freedom, and safety to its one billion poor farmers and laborers while leveraging its position in the global economic structure and regime that has been bolstered by Japan peacefully for decades, since Japan has had no intention to politically control the world including China.
* * *

The God has let the French bank's huge loss exposed as a timely warning to the Davos Forum.

If one employee in a bank in Europe could cause a billion dollars loss, what is a merit in such talks in Davos?

Financial security in the world today seems to be supported by an ethical level of workers in the financial sector, in addition to hard-working honest people in various sectors in the world.

But, there must be a big difference between dollars simply accumulated by some Islamic countries and Russia timely selling crude oil, dollars accumulated by China owing to business activities of foreign companies in China and their huge investment, and dollars earned by Japan, Taiwan, Korea, etc. due to hard work of their people in real industries in a tested manner based on their honest research and development activities for decades.

The Hero "Little Turtle"

The Hero "Little Turtle"

(Le héros "Petite Tortue")



In American high schools, or middle schools and elementary schools in the United States, they should teach more about Native Americans, including the hero Little Turtle.

---
In the Treaty of Paris (1783) which ended the American Revolutionary War, the British abandoned their native allies and signed over the land between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River to the United States. The Americans considered the region to be theirs by right of conquest, and with the creation of the Northwest Territory in 1787 they began to divide the land north of the Ohio River for settlement.

Violence escalated and Native Americans formed the Western Confederacy with the goal of keeping the Ohio River as a boundary between Indian lands and the United States. Little Turtle emerged as one of the leaders of this confederacy, which included Shawnees under Blue Jacket and Delawares under Buckongahelas. The war which followed has no generally accepted name, but was once known as "Little Turtle's War".

In 1790, the United States sent an expedition under the command of General Josiah Harmar to bring an end to the border war. Because the United States had mostly disbanded its military after the Revolution, it had few professional soldiers to send into battle, a weakness which Little Turtle and other native leaders fully exploited.

In October 1790, Little Turtle and Blue Jacket won two victories against Harmar's men. These successes encouraged previously reluctant leaders among the Ottawas and Wyandots to join the confederacy. In 1791, Little Turtle and Blue Jacket defeated another American expedition, this time led by General Arthur St. Clair. It was the worst defeat the Americans would ever suffer at the hands of American Indians with some 623 American soldiers killed in action. According to the most popular version of the story, Little Turtle was in overall command of the army that defeated St. Clair, although other accounts suggest that Blue Jacket was the preeminent native leader.[11]

A third expedition under the command of General Anthony Wayne gave Little Turtle pause; U.S. troops were of superior numbers and had just completed rigorous training. After an exploratory attack on Fort Recovery in June 1794, Little Turtle counseled negotiation rather than battle, remarking that Wayne "never sleeps." According to a widely circulated story, he ceded command to Blue Jacket, although retaining leadership of the Miami tribesmen. The confederacy, numbering around 1,000 men, was defeated at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.

This battle forced the confederacy to sign the Treaty of Greenville.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Turtle
---

In American high schools, or middle schools and elementary schools in the United States, they should teach the Treaty of Greenville that admits that Native Americans are entities the US Government should deal with in a diplomatic manner between two sovereigns.　

George Washington is said, in one theory, to have hated Native Americans but loved the vast and rich land the so-called "Indians" had occupied, which turned to be one of the major motivations of George Washington and other wealthy or greedy "white men" for independence from England.

It is not only because George Washington was a member of the Freemasons, if not anti-Christ or anti-Vatican, but also because he was just a spiritual descendant of Europeans who had immigrated to North America leaving unhappiness and misery in Europe, however, in order not to help Native Americans and convey the Gospel to them

http://peterepublic.org/archives/2007/08/george_washington_freemason.html

From a religious point of view, the Gospel must have reached the New Continent America through any channels, sooner or later.

Nonetheless, I could not help but get disappointed, since emigrant Europeans did not think that they would have been punished by the God if they had treated Native Americans badly or more badly than they had been treated in Europe as poor citizens in the society mostly regulated by the authority of the Vatican.

So, the Religious Revolution in the United States expected to emerge sooner or later should also include the reattempting to preach the Gospel among Native Americans.

It is because it is said that six million or more Native Americans were killed directly or indirectly by emigrant Europeans equipped with advanced fire arms and horse power.

Holy Justice is yet to be done on the New Continent America.


(Once a little girl implied that I looked like a turtle.

Of course, her blue eyes must see something invisible as she was an infant linked with an angel, if she did not know that a turtle and a crane are two sacred living things in Japan traditionally.

Have a nice Sunday night, too, since super-duper Tuesday is coming soon!)




"The grass withers, and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord remains forever..."

"Stupid White Men"

"Stupid White Men"

(Stupides hommes blancs)



I went to Ginza the other day.

It is only to show that I don't hate Ginza.

Additionally, it is to show Ginza to people outside Japan, including overseas Japanese and foreigners learning Japanese who have not seen it for a long time or not at all, for some precautions.

Even Mr. Michael Moore might like those pictures.


SECTION I: "DEAR GEORGE"

"All those men roaming around the White House - Dick, Rummy, Colin - not a single one is a pal of yours!...

But you're one of us - a Boomer, a C student, a partier! What the hell are you doing with that crowd?...

They probably didn't tell you that the tax cut they drew up for you to sign was a swindle to take money from the middle class and give it to the super-rich..."
- Mr. Michael Moore -

Mr. Michael Moore wrote the book "STUPID WHITE MEN," which was finely timed and published, namely after 2000 Presidential Election but before 2001 Terror on New York and the Pentagon.

It might be regarded as an unbiased assessment on President Mr. George W. Bush, since history is at its every moment.


SECTION II: "IDIOT NATION"

"...George W. Bush spoke proudly of having been a mediocre student at Yale. 'And to the C students, I say you, too, can be President of the United States!'....

Recently a group of 556 seniors at fifty-five prestigious American universities (e.g., Harvard, Yale, Stanford) were given a multiple-choice test consisting of questions that were described as 'high school level.' Thirty-four questions were asked. These top students could only answer 53 percent of them correctly. And only one student got them all right.

A whopping 40 percent of these students did not know when the Civil War took place..."
- Mr. Michael Moore -


If you have too large money and too powerful military, you might not be highly motivated to give truly excellent education and discipline to young people in the society and the nation.

If the White House, the Congress, the State Department, the Defense Department, the Treasury Department, FBI, and CIA are all filled with those students after graduation, they cannot control behaviors and attitudes of businesses in the defense sector, the financial sector, the medical sector, and the oil sector as well as other industries.

So, the 9/11 terror should occur; the subprime loan problem should occur; and you would have no other choices but "Hillary" or "Obama" eventually, good or bad.


SECTION IV: "Tallahassee Hi-Ho"

"Privately, I think most people in the Nader camp thought what I thought - that once Gore had a chance to wipe the floor with Bush in a debate, the election would be over..."
- Mr. Michael Moore -

This is significance.

Michael, I also saw the debate on TV in 2000. Mr. Bush looked like falling on his face in the debate hall. Mr. Al Gore sternly pointed at the lack of concrete figures in words Mr. Bush awkwardly delivered as a defense in front of a TV camera.

The atmosphere the Democrat Presidential candidate Mr. Al Gore too confidently displayed in that well-known debate reminded me of some elite Israelite Americans that had harmed Japan at the height of the reign of then President Mr. Bill Clinton.

I, honestly, mused, "God should help George Bush under the attack by US intellectual elites."

And, he was elected as US President eventually, to your and our astonishment.
* * *

And seven years later, the God has showed us some more interesting showdowns:
Mr. Al Gore got the Nobel Prize; Mr. Michael Moore also got rewarded with big film prizes, even in France, and became a globally famous man; and Mr. George W. Bush has so far succeeded in maintaining discipline in the White House while protecting the two most sacred cities in the world, Jerusalem and Mecca. 　

And, if you have a glass of beer, you don't feel danger in drinking together with George or Michael, so long as they are ordinary citizens which they should be.



(Oh, Mlle., I saw Paris on an NHK TV channel yesterday.

Ms. Hiroko Kuniya, a very succesfull Japanese TV moderator, didn't look like a Parisienne.

Paris itself didn't look like Paris, though I could spot the Eiffel Tower standing in the cold over her and the Seine.

However, her report on education in Europe, especially in Finland, is very instructive.

It is not knowledge, logic, and even judgment, but a sense of mission in one's life, whether a belief in predetermination or not, isn't it?)



"FINAL WARNINGS AND GREETINGS"

(LETZTE WARNUNGEN UND GRUSSE)

Predestination

(Tokyo, truly)



Predestination

(Prédestination)




SECTION I: Thomas Edison

A unique and notable Japanese critic, Mr. Naoki Komuro, wrote that the reason why Thomas Edison could invent so many useful things lies in the predestination Edison must have believed in.

( http://diamond.jp/series/komuro/10002/?page=2 )

Edison said that one percent genius and 99% efforts are all you need for success.

But, to sustain the "99% efforts" in any business must be very difficult without a strong support from your talent and genius.

To sustain such a life needs a kind of belief.

And, the predestination or the pre-determinism can be the most effective belief for sustaining one's effort being carried out based on 1% talent and 99% efforts.

Edison's unusual concentration on activities for invention can be explained, Mr. Komuro wrote, by his belief in the predestination, since with such a belief you could avoid worry, anxiety, and any other psychological state that would hinder your concentration on a subject.


SECTION II: University vs. The Vatican

A unique and notable Japanese critic, Mr. Naoki Komuro, wrote on difference in universities between Japan and Europe. In his writing, what is interesting is as follows:

It was in the change from 12th to 13th centuries that the universities appeared in Europe, and it is not that there was no higher education institutes in Europe prior to this period. and there were some such schools here and there with fine teaching facilities and volumes of books available. However, it should be noted that these schools were all under conditions, and they were protected by power as long as they follow such conditions.

To be more concrete, these schools were made by churches and/or three powers. Therefore, it could be said that these schools were intended to train church leaders and officials of the King. Upon entering the 13th century from the 12th, there appeared some who were not satisfied with those educations, followed by the trend of pursuing learning, as free from power as ever. It is by the Crusade against Islam that this trend was motivated.

At that time, Islam enjoyed learning which was far more developed and improved than in the European countries, with more emphasis placed on studies of ancient Greece or Rome, and this is when the Europeans visiting Islam were so much intellectually stimulated by the Crusade that they came to think that they should improve the level of learning in Europe.

http://www.iond-univ.org/hawaii/komuro.html

Therefore, universities in the world might be basically regarded as a kind of enemies of the Vatican but a kind of friends of Islam.


SECTION III: Christianity and Islam

In my understanding, there were some critical defects in Christianity in and around the era when Islam emerged.

For mankind not to be harmed by those defects, I suppose that God or Allah vouchsafed Islam to mankind.

Indeed, with Islam, people in the Middle East 500 years ago could prevent invasion by Europeans, forcing Columbus to sail westward.

Truly, with Islam, people in the Middle East and other regions have been able to uphold the dignity of themselves, their families, their clans, their tribes, their societies, their nations, and their races against the violent power, for example, of the dollar and Euro even today.
* * *

The relationship between Christianity and Islam is critical in judging the future of the world and mankind.

Therefore, how the champion of Christianity of today, the U.S., is dealing with Muslims will decide the future.

If the framework of the human history was determined by the God when He created this universe, we should be allowed to exercise of freedom of our will at a higher level of the history which must be however intangible.

In the case, one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration should be effective, though inventing something invisible, such as harmony between Christians and Muslims in the American society, must be more instrumental and valuable for mankind today than inventing something visible, such as a stock market or a skyscraper.




(Indeed, we had better believe in one percent visible things and 99% invisible things.

Truly, it must be a key to understanding relationships among people and things in this society.

Now, good girls, how much could you believe in your destiny the God or Allah ordained, on the premise that we are all invisible?

Anyway, beauty of the heart and the mind should prevail more than that of physical appearance no matter if you are in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, or Buddhism, or otherwise in India or China.)



"RIGHT WITH GOD"

Yesterday and Days Before

(Tokyo, indeed)



Yesterday and Days Before

(Hier et jours avant)


I saw a pond nearby frozen almost all over its surface, 200m long, the day before yesterday.

I once gave a sparrow a humble lump of rice I was eating there, sitting on a bench looking down on the pond, as the tiny bird looked like a young mother that could not find food for her baby birds, since she flew away straight over the pond (and to her nest without eating it herself) when she caught her favorite white rice in the middle of the air as I just threw it up with my chopsticks near to her hovering space.


SECTION I: News Caster Flown to Europe

Last week, a certain news caster of Japan's NHK TV was absent.

I wondered where she took her vacation in this nonsense season.

I though she must be gone to America, since she graduated from a university in America, though fairly long time ago.

But, this week she has been presenting her interviews with some notable Europeans from Europe.

So, I realized it must be the Davos Forum that basically made her take a business trip to Europe.

However, there is a rumor in a certain knowledgeable community in Japan that an Euro bubble will burst sooner or later.

The dollar is getting weaker; Euro will lose confidence; and thus indeed Japan's Yen might be appreciated this time appropriately and justly.

One more thing, the former prime minister of Thailand is said to be staying in London. In Thailand, a party supporting this former prime minister won the recent election held in the aftermath of coups. But, there is a doubt in a certain knowledgeable community in Japan as to why British media would not report corruptions and criminal acts the former prime minister had been involved in during his reign in Thailand.

( http://blog.goo.ne.jp/leonlobo2/m/200801 )

All I can say to Ms. Hiroko Kuniya is not to believe the Davos Forum and the British Government, because they will sacrifice Asia or abuse Asians in order to continue to be rich themselves.

It is because they still live with the paradigm of the colonial period.


SECTION II: State of the Union Message

A Japan's Fuji TV news program pointed at the fact that President Mr. George Bush did not mention North Korea at all in his address in the Congress.

Recently, words of Saddam Hussein in an interrogation by the US Military were released. I do not believe that Saddam Hussein spoke honestly or US officers honestly made the contents open.

When Mr. Bush took office in the White House seven years ago, there was a line of anti-Israel and anti-Saudi Arabia nations: Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan.

After seven years in office, President Mr. Bush has succeeded in subduing Syria, defeating Iraq, restraining Iran, and controlling Afghanistan.

This is a brilliant success from a military point of view.

As a proof of his feats, not only Israel and Saudi Arabia are enjoying peace of dream but also Dubai and other Persian Gulf States are enjoying extreme prosperity, even bolstering the Wall Street in New York.

Very, very ironically, President Mr. Bush realized unthinkable peace and prosperity in the Middle East so far, though the President could neither capture Mr. Osama bin Laden nor bring him to justice while sacrificing a million Iraqi and Afghan people as well as thousands of US and allied officials and soldiers.

(Can "President Hillary" capture Mr. Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice?)

I hope that President Mr. Bush will add one more feat by making a peace treaty with North Korea, so that North Korean people will need no more dictatorial government.

Anyway, I really like to focus on Jerusalem and Mecca, and not much on Beijing where there are still no real democracy and freedom of thoughts and religions.


SECTION III: Because, Because I...

Q: Why are there so many unhappy people in this world?

A: It is because the glory of God will appear through their prayers to God asking for His help and mercy.

Q: Why are there so many victims in this society?

A: It is because the glory of God will appear through their prayers to God asking for His help and mercy.

Q: Why are there so many tragic incidents here and there?

A: It is because the glory of God will appear through prayers to God the people concerned will deliver asking for His help and mercy.
* * *

As the US Presidential Election campaign is getting heated up, more and more Japanese media people will fly to America for coverage.

However, I believe the center of the world is here.

The sun, the moon, and all the glorious stars are above my head.

All I wish is the Army of Heaven descend to destroy devils and demons rampaging on the earth like a simple moral play or a fairly tale story of a never-never land.

And then, the Vatican will learn how to read the Revelation of St. John the Divine, the Apocalypse, in the most pious manner to the Lord.



(If you go to London and Paris for a media coverage job, you don't look nice there, provided that you are 100% Asian.

You had better, Mlle., try to show the glory of God or European Civilization if you can, say, in Tokyo or Taipei.)

News Are Flying like Cannonballs

(Tokyo)



News Are Flying like Cannonballs
(Actualités volent comme des boulets de canon)



SECTION I: Prime Minister and Rock Star in Davos

Mr. Tony Blair was sitting beside Japan's Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda on a platform of a hall where the World Economic Forum was held.

Some Japanese TV news caster praised smart ad-lib comments by Mr. Blair.

However, you may be more interested in that a rock star presented an i-Pod (made in Taiwan?) to Mr. Fukuda in Davos.

http://www.u2station.com/

I think that Mr. Fukuda should have presented Panasonic Evolta batteries to the Rock Star and his friend Mr. Bill Gates, since the battery is the "world's longest-lasting AA alkaline battery cell" recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as it can work after a 10-year stay on a shelf.

http://inventorspot.com/articles/panasonics_new_evolta_batteries__9974

Indeed, it is a bad joke that a US billionaire and a rock star are talking with a very busy senior Japanese Prime Minister about how to save poor Africans, since he spent 24 hours in the jet plane for 8.5 hours stay in Swiss.

Jesus Christ would rather say to them to give all the money they have to poor Africans.

I will say to them to buy Evolta batteries from Japan and give them free to poor Africans.


SECTION II: "Rush Limbaugh" and "John McCain"

Yesterday I heard Mr. Rush Limbaugh saying that he had never met Mr. John McCain and Mr. John McCain had never met with him, over the FEN radio channel.

I doubt it just like Mr. Rush Limbaugh doubted some comments by Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton regarding a certain businessman in Chicago.


SECTION III: Antiques under the Ground

A Japanese newspaper reported that many poor people in China are now engaged in business dealing with antiques.

They are digging old tombs, regardless of ownership, nearby or anywhere to take out any burial accessories.

Most of Americans do not know terrible aspects of culture and history of China.

But, a huge blind movement of millions of Chinese, driven by material desire, can be a kind of torrent that would destroy any good human nature, including that fostered by Christianity if it reaches the American Continent.
* * *

The hidden theme here is Mrs. Hilary Rodham Clinton.

There is the worst speculation that "President Hillary" will eventually accept the annexation of Taiwan by China.

I hope that Ms. Condoleezza Rice, who looked somehow serious sitting also beside Mr. Tony Blair in Davos, will leave at least useful legacy of US policy on China in addition to that on North Korea when she finally leaves the State Department in 2009.


(A young trader in a certain French bank has caused a big loss and damage, about US$ 7 billion, through his reportedly unauthorized transactions, according to the news.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7211796.stm

I suppose there is ten times more danger in China in this respect.

However, Mesdemoiselles and Xiao jie, your handling with them might highly influence the safety and discipline of the money market...

Say what you like is not money or an i-Pod, but batteries for a revolution of the French Revolution class.)

What a Winner; What a loser!

What a Winner; What a loser!

(Quels sont les gagnants!)



SECTION I: South Carolina

The last weekend and especially Sunday night were full of winners and losers in the U.S. and Japan.

Former President Mr. Bill Clinton virtually lost to the African American Presidential candidate Mr. Barack Obama in South Carolina.

New York Times editorial team might become a loser one more time this November.

http://pundits.thehill.com/2008/01/25/the-new-york-times-endorsement/

Some prominent Japanese who assume a pundit on American politics say that nothing changes in the U.S. if "Hillary" or "Obama" becomes the President.

However, a Japanese news reporter wrote in a paper that it is apparently becoming a racial competition; and a former Japanese lawmaker writes in his blog that if "Hillary" or "Obama" is elected as the President, it means something that has placed women and African Americans under social restraint is really changing.

However, it must lead to a Religious Revolution in America, where even "President Hillary" or "President Obama" will be just an insignificant, collateral incident so modest and trifling.

What they must be waiting for ultimately is neither a female President nor a minority-origin President but the Messiah Himself.

New York Times and Former President Mr. Bill Clinton should come back to the right sense before President Mr. George Bush does, if they really want a Democratic President for poor Americans not only for rich Israelite Americans.


SECTION II: Tokyo Sumo Wrestling Fever

Two Mongolian sumo-wrestlers matched in the last day of the New Year 15-day Tournament held in Tokyo.

Both are on the top of the ranking, namely grand champion, and were the only two candidates for the championship in this tournament when 14 days were over.

The older one, who had been accused of his arrogant, selfish, rude, and violent manners in these months by the public and the media, lost.

http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200801280039.html


SECTION III: Osaka International Female Marathon

When the top runner reached the 30km line, everybody believed that she would win.

It is because she is the top runner in 10,000 meters race in Japan.

It is because she has a record holder in a half marathon in Japan.

It is because she declared before the marathon race that she had been prepared well for this race in Osaka which would be her first marathon race.

But, after 30km line, she suddenly lost energy; her legs failed her; she tripped over and stumbled several times, falling on the ground; she was almost walking when she came back to the stadium; audience screamed every time she fell on a track until she passed the finish line, yet demonstrating remarkable fighting spirit, after 18 runners had crossed it.

The winner was a British woman who had once worked in the British Embassy in Tokyo and married a Japanese man.

She said in the Sunday night that tens of thousands of people accessed her blog when she wrote her memo after the race, though usually it is only five persons or so that access it everyday.


SECTION IV: New Osaka Governor

A young lawyer defeated a senior professor of Osaka University in the Osaka Governor Election held yesterday.

Osaka, the centre of West Japan, is the mightiest city next to Tokyo in Japan.

However Osaka people are different from Tokyo citizens in terms of their view on the society and politics; they like humanness more than elitism, since no Imperial Palace and the Diet Building are in Osaka.

The immediate former Governor had been a high-ranking bureaucrat of the Central Government.

The reason why she had been elected twice as Osaka Governor is that her preceding Governor was a shameless comedian. Though he had been extremely popular among Osaka citizens who love comic performance, his bad manners to women had been exposed, which had made Osaka people all feel ashamed.

So, Osaka people had elected the female elite as their Governor twice, who could not run this time however due to some money scandals. Then, yesterday Osaka voters chose a young lawyer who was recently making a TV appearance so often as if being a comedian.

The new Governor graduated from the No.1 high school in Osaka and the No.1 private university in Japan to become a popular lawyer, a kind of elites in the society.

So, he is half an elite and half a comedian, an ideal combination for Osaka people. But, his rival, namely the senior professor was regraded by some as nothing but an elite who does not know reality of life of ordinary people.

http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200801280070.html

However, there are two more important factors:

(1) The young lawyers never circulated abusive letters against personality of his rival in the election, handing them to people or posting them on the Internet.

But, supporters of the senior professor circulated every kind of abusive letters against the personality of the young lawyer, handing them to people and posting them on the Internet.

Those supporters, including national lawmakers, usually write and act as if persons of justice; but they never hesitate in attacking personality on their opponents, without hesitating the use of obscene expressions.

If the Opponents continue to preach ideals but attack personality of their enemies, they cannot be respected by voters.

Anyway, a young lawmaker won the Osaka Governor election, though he did not bring to the fore the support from the Liberal Democratic Party while enjoying his support from graduates of the No.1 high school in Osaka,

(2) The young lawyer was against the controversial human rights protection legislation.

But, the senior professor supported the controversial human rights protection legislation.

This law is said to more harm ordinary citizens than save specific groups of residents. It is not for universal protection of human rights; it is for certain interested people, according to critics.

Osaka is a prefecture where a lot of various people with complicated background live, such as ethnic Koreans in Japan.

( http://kukkuri.jpn.org/boyakikukkuri2/log/eid433.html#sequel )

But, of course, the U.S. has more various people than Osaka, with far more complicated background, such as Muslims and Hispanic Native Americans as well as Japanese Americans.
* * *

So, it was a nice Sunday night, wasn't it?

Indeed, I saw a white bird flying in the midnight sky of last Saturday when I wondered why the Orion so leaned to west.

Truly, there must be a miracle in such wins and losses, though I was, to tell the truth, not so much interested in all of these competitions and did not watch TV so often these days, since my concern is always how the God will deal with very sinful people in New York, Paris, Tokyo, etc.



(It was a big surprise that the notable former secretary of former Prime Minister Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi made his first live TV appearance last night.

He was to Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi more than Mr. Karl Rove was to Mr. George W. Bush in terms of individual service and contribution.

The man in the background of the great political power in Japan looked however somehow human last night, while the young lawyer after his victory in the election was being interviewed in the same TV program, sharing a table with three good looking female moderators and critic.

[But, didn't you feel weird, too?])

Davos People vs. Soccer Slaves, Part-Time Priest, and Homeless

Davos People vs. Soccer Slaves, Part-Time Priest, and Homeless

(Davos People vs Soccer Esclaves, à temps partiel Priest, et Homeless)


Late last nigh in Japan, around midnight close to the Sunday, I was listening to the BBC Radio over the Internet.

They repeatedly referred to the address Japan's Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda delivered in the World Economic Forum in Davos.

As the G8 Summit is to be held in Japan this year, the Prime Minister focused his speech on the climate change and necessary technology development.

However, a more interesting topic the BBC Radio presented was the soccer slavery: many young Africans are recruited on streets in African by soccer scouts to be brought to Europe.

But, if those young Africans got injured or failed in trials or real games, they are thrown out to a street in Europe without any compensation and support.

Then most of them suddenly find that a passport each of them was given in Africa is a kind of fake.

In this criminal scheme, even some staff members in embassies of African countries in Europe are involved.

- In the U.S., in a small town, there is a church for African Americans, where no professional priests are hired to preside over the mass and other administration.

A manual worker in a factory or a part-time worker in a supermarket plays a role of the priest in this small church.

I think that this is one of the best churches in the world.

- In Japan, a middle aged homeless wrote in his blog that there are only two types of people for him in this world: those who only think of their own happiness and others who mind and take care of happiness of others as with their own.

What is worse is that the former often blame the latter when those humane people try to help and support homeless people, saying that it is not just good.

I think that this is one of the best reports in blogs in Japan.
* * *

Then, have a nice Sunday night!


(Strangely January has 31 days.

As I often think that December 30 is the 365th day in a leap year when December 25 is 360th day, I wonder why January has 31 days.

However, most of you might not be concerned with such a calculation...)



Mar 12:1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

Mar 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

Mar 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

Mar 12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

Mar 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

Mar 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

Mar 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

Mar 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

Mar 12:9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.




　

Real Change and Collateral Tragedy

Real Change and Collateral Tragedy

(Véritable changement et accompagnement tragédie)




SECTION I: Changes and Victims in and around the U.S.

For example, Abraham Lincoln won the Civil War, leading to a new era and bringing about a big change.

Then Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.

Gandhi led India to winning independence from the U.K., bringing about a big change.

Then Gandhi was assassinated.

John Kennedy became the first Catholic US President, bringing about a big change.

Then JFK was assassinated.

Martin Luther King Jr. became the first African American Nobel Prize Winner and led the big social change forcing President Lyndon Johnson to admit it.

Then Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

The Reagan-Bush Administration put an end to the Cold War, bringing about a big change.

Then, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, influencing many Arabs including Mr. Osama bin Laden. Later Saddam Hussein was executed and Mr. Osama bin Laden has become an enemy of the U.S.

Mr. Bill Clinton advertised a big change, actually bringing about it in the money market.

Then AlQaeda began to plan the 9/11 terror, which was however conducted in 2001 triggering wars taking so many lives of Muslims and Christians.

When the U.S. has its first female President or its first African-American President, thus bringing about a big change, some horrible things might happen in the U.S. and in the world.

Are people concerned, including, say, New York Times editors, well prepared for that?

Only for the reason to avoid such tragedies, you might like to vote for, say, Mr. Mitt Romney in the Presidential Election, though probably I won't if I have a right for vote.

(Of course, EEE Reporter might be involved in such tragedies. But, in the case, whoever can be involved in my view, since God is almighty.)


SECTION II: Big Change in Japan Expected

In 1868, after the civil war in Japan, the Tokugawa samurai regime lost the political power and the hegemony in Japan.

They had gone forever.

In 1945, after the defeat in WWII, the Imperial Military lost the political power and the hegemony in Japan.

They had gone forever.

In 2007, there is a possibility that the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) of Japan might lose the political power and the hegemony in Japan.

But, it is still unlikely if they will have gone forever.

If before the G8 summit planned in Japan this July a general election is conducted, triggered by, say, the gasoline tax issue, there is a possibility that LDP will lose majority in the Lower House and thus fall from power.

In the case, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), as a major ruling party, will form the cabinet.

The point of issue is that we have had many victims in such turmoil.

When LDP lost its power but soon came back forming the cabinet in a tie up with a socialist party in early 1990's, some people concerned were really victimized in the political sector of Japan.

The then prime minister who had first taken power from LDP later lost his reputation due to some money scandals.

Even, in 1995 when a Japan's prime minister was a member of the socialist party supported by LDP, a great earthquake hit Japan killing 6,000 people and a sarin-gas terror was carried out by a cult in Tokyo injuring 6,000 people.

Recently when former Prime Minister Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi introduced a big change in the Japanese politics, some politicians, critics, officials, and even economists were reportedly victimized.

Only for the reason to avoid such tragedies, you might like to vote for LDP in the coming general election in Japan, though I don't know what I will do with my voting right.

(Of course, EEE Reporter might be involved in such tragedies. But, in the case, whoever can be involved in my view, since God is almighty.)


SECTION III: Enemy of God and EEE Reporter

Just like EEE Reporter had predicted months ago, some rich Americans and British lost big money recently due to the subprime loan problem.

But, the US Government, in a tie up with rich Americans and British, should not become an enemy of God or Allah and EEE Reporter.

Japanese ruling parties and officials in power, in a tie up with rich Americans and British, must not be an enemy of God and EEE Reporter from the fear of losing power.

EEE Reporter has simply suggested that the death of Princess Diana in 1997 gave a decisive cause to certain Muslims to carry out the 9/11 terror in New York and Washington DC.

EEE Reporter has simply suggested that if a Religious Revolution prevails among poor Americans, such tragedies will be avoided.

And, EEE Reporter is simply wishing that every Japanese citizen would be blessed by the God, which LDP and DPJ or any Japanese politicians and officials cannot do.

You must think twice or thrice before making enemy out of God and EEE Reporter.



(Now, you are safe perfectly, as I have declared so following the order of God, my dear.)


Mat 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Mat 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

SECTION I: Ginza, Ginza, Ginza, so High and so Proud

Last night they reported a planned closing of a small (Japanese style) pub in Ginza, Tokyo.

Ginza is the highest street, in a sense, in Japan with various commercial buildings and shops well-established or always modern and enjoying reputation for refined style. The street is rather near the first-rate business center Hibiya, the Tokyo Station, and the Imperial Palace, making Ginza streets all the more proud.

One 50-year old, humble wooden (Japanese style) pub is going to be closed once for all in Ginza, since a land owner has contracted for a development project.

Ginza has been always under development since Japan opened the door to the world in 1868 on the Meiji Restoration.

As Tokyo is for Japan, Ginza has been for Tokyo. Every rich citizen and happy and lucky people go shopping and drinking in Ginza.

Anyway, the small pub has an atmosphere of the age depicted by the Japanese movie "ALWAYS - San-choume-no-Yuhi" which has presented people and towns decades ago in Tokyo.

The word "Gin-za" literally means a silver location, since they produced silver coins in the town during the Edo Period under the reign of the Tokugawa samurai clan.

Anyway, Tokyo is literally the greatest city in the world as the one built by a single race; so then Ginza is the highest street in the world as the one established by a single race in the human history.


SECTION II: True Reason for Japan's Recession in 1990's

First of all, you had better check two pictures of Tokyo presented in the following web site:
http://www.financial-j.net/blog/

The aerial pictures cover the area around the Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace in 1964 and 2007, respectively.

Tokyo has been under development without interruption. In 1964, however, almost no buildings could be called a skyscraper, partly due to restrictions officially posed out of consideration to earthquakes Tokyo has to suffer so frequently. But, now there are many buildings three to four times higher than those having been built decades ago.

If the economic growth in Japan had changed only the outlook of big cities, there might have been no serious problems.

The size of Japan is almost as large as that of California; but the number of people who live there corresponds to almost 40% of the US population.

(Imagine if all the Americans living in the west of the Mississippi River are ordered to move to, and live in, California!)

Therefore, if Japanese people exercise the same destructive power of material civilization as Americans do, its inhabitable plains would be full of houses, collective housings, parking areas, office buildings, public facilities, factories, power plants, structural roads, rail roads and stations, air ports, and various vehicles, while filling up every paddy field, rice field, and dry agricultural field.

The destructive power of the material civilization would also invade the woods, forests, and mountains of Japan.

(Woods, forests, and mountains account for 67% of the Japan's land.)

It is what had actually happened during the bubble economy preceding the depression in 1990's.

However, as the woods, forests, and mountains of Japan are a kind of holy and spiritual places for Japanese traditions and Japanese race including the Ainu people, it means the destruction of the spirit and the soul of the Japanese race.

Therefore, the too-violent and too-mean economic boom in the late 1980's and early 1990's must have been stopped in order to save the nature of Japan and the spirituality of the Japanese people.

This is the true reason for Japan's recession in 1990's.

Indeed, we had found many criminal acts involving big money in 1990's that told deterioration and contamination of the minds and hearts of the Japanese people.

In order to save the minds and hearts of the Japanese people, the progress of Japanese economy must be slowed down even today, if necessary.

Far before this CO2 boom, I really thought that destruction of the nature of Japan must be stopped; and the God heard my wish, though the people could not understand it while resorting to useless resistance leveraging the money market until this day.


SECTION III: Revolutions in China and America so Expected

Mr. Paul Harvey today said, in the FEN radio channel, that China recorded 11% economic growth in 2007 catching up with Germany in terms of GDP.

The famous radio host said, "China is now close to the world No.3 country Germany in terms of GDP but you know who the top is."

Indeed, China will soon become world No.3 owing to a help from Japan who is still No.2.

But, unlike Japan, there seems to be nobody in China who would rather stop the economic growth in order to save the nature and the spirituality of the people.

Mr. Paul Harvey should learn how much Japan has supported China's economic growth in these decades as well as how much Chinese have destroyed and contaminated their land, the nature, and the minds and hearts of the people.

Sooner or later, there will be another political revolution in China due to the above said destruction.

Mr. Paul Harvey also mentioned the Pope as well as a Hitler's mentor in philosophy who had however lived 100 years before, while such topics are rarely taken up in the Japanese media as the paradigm of political continuation from the era before WWII has been almost obsolete in this society unlike the U.S.

Sooner or later, there will be religious revolution in the U.S.

Now, we've come to Friday.

I hope that you will be a person worth receiving God's blessing in this weekend.

Having said so, May God bless you!



(Last night I really saw the full moon through the truly cold air between buildings.

Then I really saw something red, though it was not Mars.

Equipment around me has been working well.

But, I have also remembered that my TV set got paralyzed functionally when North Korea blasted a nuclear bomb, though so humble in its scale.

It may be a time to buy new machine.)
